Rated Methoxsalen for Psoriasis Report

I have used it as a liquid 1% solution, soaking the hand for 15 min. and drying for 5 min. UVA light treatment starting with 30 sec. and going up 30sec intervals 2times a week for the past 5 weeks.
Before the tratment 2 or more of my finger tips where split open, it would heal in 2-3 days but in that period other fingers or part of the palm of my hand would crack open. Before treatment most of my palm and firngers had no sensation of feel but after 6 trearments no more cracking and started getting fealig back to my finger tips.
At this stage I feel it is 60% of the way to normal.
I have 8-16 treatments left to do, I was told by my doctor. Cost so far $A 1500.00
